○ Sillu, King of Dragons
Sill raised his voice in the darkness and hurriedly blocked his mouth.
It is the second lapse of the day.
At the same time, I understood about the three cursed nations.
It was not Kristan who defeated them. The man in black next door - "Reaper" - said he defeated him.
Once the (left hand) head of Her Majesty the Queen, a being that shook up the hostile.
Even after moving to the town of Saul, its influence has been alive and well, and as the person who carried out the infamous "Great Solemnity of Saul," it has become a fear among the "shadows" of the Wang capital.
(This guy is Kristan's stepfather, and he's Leon's father, right? I hear you're no less dangerous and unforgiving than that out-of-standard Leon...)
Seeing the cursed men rolling on the ground, Sillu exhaled softly.
It's true.
"You don't seem to know what happened."
"Have you been grasped yet?
What was surprising to Sillu was that the 'Reaper', operating in the town of Saul, had come to the king's capital.
I was retiring and I had heard stories about my recent return.
But we were talking about local cities, and we didn't think it would involve us.
That's in the king's capital, and he knows what's going on.
(What do you mean, you know more about that?)
Sillu stares at Kristan.
"From the time the Moon Squad was announced until today, I thought it was time for the enemy to set me up, and I was sneaking up on it"
I haven't heard from anyone on the left hand that Reaper is here.
Same goes for Kristan, but if you show your face in front of Her Majesty the Queen, the story will spread between the [left hand] because of its street name.
Sillu's grandfather plays "Left Hand" at the Royal Castle.
If you have the information you need for the mission, you'll tell me.
"How long have you been here?
"Right after the troop service, I guess. I snuck into the king's capital, so I'm barely active during the day."
…………
Activity is said to be at night only.
The Shadow, active at night, does not know about it. I mean, he was working unnoticed.
Despite recent nervous strains and vigilance, suspicious reports have not been raised.
Once again, it was a sill to think of the awesomeness of Reaper's abilities.
At the same time, I think that Kristan also has as many arms as he can take charge of 'Reaper' and 'Dark Crossing'.
"Assassination of dignitaries is an assassination. I don't care what you're after."
"Really? Aren't you after the one you want to kill?
"You're not. It's easy to aim at and it's just killing people there that seem important and stirring up anxiety. The enemy's aim is to break Shadow into night VIP protection. Especially by spreading the manpower available throughout the Wang capital, we will guide later operations to be more successful."
"If so, is there another purpose?
For once, when I made plans for protection, I came up with a plan like that.
However, even if it was not a sane shack such as making the assassination of a difficult dignitary difficult, it was not considered since then.
"It would be a royal palace raid. A new era is already moving, but if we sweep the upper layers of the Dragon Nation, it will take us a while to get back on our feet. Both the attention of the people and the dragon jockeys of the requisition have all turned to the crusade for dominant species. It's possible when we're understaffed. I guess that's what you thought."
On top of that, if night security is scattered all the time, the odds increase for that matter.
"But that's the same here. I thought it was strange that the enemy didn't attack us this time of year. That's why I came in advance."
Sillu is also convinced by Kristan's words.
If the enemy thinks of it as a good opportunity, even the ally can judge it as "the enemy must have considered it a good opportunity".
"So you entered the king's capital without telling anyone."
"That's the thing. The guards are well guarded during the day. The night is a part of Shadow, but not enough."
"You're right. The influx of people is increasing and the surveillance at night is not catching up. I honestly was in trouble because it wasn't easy to increase the number of people."
"So you understand the situation. This one moves this way, so dispose of those three. Besides, we're not always in Wangdu (here). If you want to contact me, mark something."
"Is that a landmark...... right. Then I'll drip a yellow cloth on the end of my shop. So what do you say?
"Okay. If you see him, you should go see him."
"Yes, thank you"
By the time Sill lowered his head, the two signs had disappeared already.
"Reaper... just talking makes me nervous"
I can't pin it on the younger generation, but I shudder when I just hear Sillu's grandfather and other names.
It's the kind of fear that makes you wonder how scared you are.
Sillu, who knew it, was nervous, even the father of a man he knew well, and his father-in-law.
Even after this day, Sillu put in a "right hand" to look for those who scowl at night, watching the dignitaries in the shadows, and making them investigate if there were any suspicious ones.
The unusual thing is that sometimes the (right hand) released into town returns with the body of a spellman.
Where they don't know, battles are taking place between the Dark One, and the Spellman is defeated, Sillu explained.
Faces of the "Right Hand" began to faintly understand that something was happening in the Wang capital, even as they were hurt in pride by their undiscovered selves.
And one day, on the border, the number of people dying in the king's city ceased to appear at all.
